WD 425: Washer-disinfector for reprocessing endoscopes, accessories, instruments

and other medical devices in accordance with EN ISO 15883-1, -2 and -4
 Standard-compliant reprocessing
of endoscopes
Endoscopic examinations and interventions are today indispensable for diagnostics and therapy.
The quality of endoscope reprocessing is particularly important in this context. Effective prevention
of infection transmission from the patient to the endoscopy personnel or to other patients through
contaminated endoscopic instruments is essential.

Procedures using glutaraldehyde or peracetic acid

WD 425 is perfectly equipped for heavy-duty use. Thanks
to high-quality components and parts, various procedures
using peracetic acid or glutaraldehyde can be applied.
Confirmation of compatibility of materials must be
obtained from the endoscope manufacturers prior to
reprocessing.

Maximum capacity in the smallest space

Compact design with high turnover: WD 425 is the most powerful and most compact automated washer-
disinfector in its class. Up to 3 endoscopes or 8 DIN instrument trays can be reprocessed simultaneously.

The flexible loading system allows the WD 425 device to
be utilized continuously. There are no downtimes due to
loading. The endoscopes can already be loaded onto the
racks and connected up to the individual channels in
advance outside the machine. Thus, they are immediately
ready for the next reprocessing cycle.
